The End of Luxury Beliefs

Please watch the embedded video from Youtube  entitled The End of Luxury Beliefs. In it, the speaker makes a point that is not original with him, but he he frames to fit our times. Namely that hard times create rational beliefs, rational beliefs create good times, good times create luxury beliefs, and luxury beliefs create hard times. Luxury beliefs are those that do not conform to reality; communism, tran-genderism, Islam, indeed pretty much the entire liberal leftist project. People who hold these beliefs and push them on others typically do not have to live with the consequences, or they actually benefit in some way from them. He cites examples where people tried some of these beliefs and ended up being killed for them. He asks, "what did they think would happen?"

I sincerely hope that he is correct, and we are coming to the end of such beliefs. Society certainly can't afford much more without completely falling apart. I was especially amused to hear the story of Finland's SuperShe Island at the 19:28 minute mark. All men were banned from the island, though they had to have men construct the infrastructure before it opened, and come and repair the plumbing and such. Feminism is yet another luxury belief that people in the daily throws of survival have no time for.

So, make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a 20-minute romp through history. You won't be disappointed.
